distribution, drug metabolism, and drug excretion.
Define Pharmacodynamics - (CORRECT ANSWER)The impact of drugs on the body. The

Pre administration assessment - (CORRECT ANSWER)Three basic goals: collecting baseline
data needed to evaluate therapeutic and adverse responses, identifying high -risk patients, and
assessing the patient's capacity for self-care.
